RALEIGH, N.C. - Earlier this week, Carolina Hurricanes forward Sebastian Aho joined The Players' Tribune to pen a letter to Canes fans, touching on the City of Raleigh, Rod Brind'Amour, Jordan Staal, and more.

With the NHL’s Eastern Conference tightening up, the Hurricanes went into Sunday’s game just six points ahead of the Detroit Red Wings, who held the second wild-card playoff spot.

Sebastian Aho has racked up more than his fair share of assists this season, though he's gone a bit cold in this area of late. However, a visit from the Bruins should get him back on track, per our NHL betting picks.

BOTTOM LINE: The Carolina Hurricanes host the Boston Bruins in Eastern Conference play. Carolina has gone 23-7-1 at home and 36-22-4 overall. The Hurricanes have a +28 scoring differential, with 197 total goals scored and 169 given up.
